The mountain rolling with Gunnar Nelson

Thanks for posting, hadn't seen that one.

The "grappler versus strongman" is a matchup as old as time - there are tons of those from like 100 years ago. It's always fascinating to see a physically superior strongman grapple against someone way better technically.
 
Could you talk about those matchup that used to happen a century ago more in detail?
It's kind of foggy but I think I remember an old book talking about an old strongman (maybe Arthur Saxon?) competing against wrestlers. I remember an old news article about it talking about how he kept exploding out and pushing the wrestler off etc - reminded me of this roll actually how the mountain kept powering out and standing up. It may have been an old catch wrestler if I'm remembering correctly.
